A friend of mine told me that when he worked at a grocery store as a teenager that he always liked being tasked with rounding up the grocery carts in the parking lot because he got to go outside and be by himself for a bit. I think about that a lot, but I also return my cart.

I agree with your friend, I’ve been in the same job. But I also return my cart.

Former grocery store teen here. It was nice to get away from customers a little, but then again then you're stuck in a parking lot with those same customers and now you have to try and avoid getting run over.

I always thought it was nice except for when the weather was terrible like when it was really hot or cold and you were out there with numb hands shoving 30 carts across a snow covered parking lot.

It was only occasionally good

Great, since those carts are returned by good people now, it means they can have a 5 minute break outside in the sun instead.

Damn, now I'm going to think of those kids when I return the cart! Maybe I could like, pile them up real bad in the little hut so they can still get fresh air.
